I have a cornucopia

Chapter 135 The Holy Mother, Queen Mother and Lafayette are crowded with guests

"The Holy Mother, Queen Mother and Lafayette are nothing more than that!"

Yang Dutang walked downstairs with disdain like a diner who was full of wine and food but still thought it was a bit salty.

Then he patted the guard on the shoulder...

"Let brothers take good care of her. This is the Holy Mother of the Qing Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Lafayette. We cannot let her be lonely. Not only must she satisfy her diet, but we must also take care of her spiritual life."

He said.

The guard was confused.

"Todo, what is spiritual life?"

he asked cautiously.

"I want her to be happy every day and let more people talk to her in the future."

Others have nothing to do with him. Others will definitely kill him in a few years after they succeed to the throne.

In any case, they will fight to the end.

As for rescuing his brother...

So he needs a garrison that can fight to the end.

I have been saving.

In fact, Duduo had almost no hope of breaking through this fortress. After suffering heavy losses from the attack, he had to change it to a siege. However, the city had already stocked up enough supplies and ammunition to last for a year. As far as the current food problem of the Qing Dynasty, It’s hard to say who will collapse first in the end! At least when the soldiers and civilians in Dezhou City were eating canned food and rice, the cannon fodder of the Han army in the Qing army outside was digging wild vegetables and gnawing on the bones thrown by the Eight Banners Manchuria. It is not that Dorgon was rich enough to feed the Eight Banners Manchuria, but the latter There is no psychological burden on the cannon fodder who have been eaten to death.

The situation in our Qing Dynasty is very delicate now. It stands to reason that a new emperor should have been appointed a long time ago, but the problem is that both the Lianghuang Banner and the Zhenglan Banner are determined not to accept Dorgon. Although Fulin was captured, he is not without brothers. Huang Taiji's I still have a son, but it’s not Dorgon’s turn yet. But Dorgon couldn't accept his other nephews succeeding to the throne. He could accept Fulin because even if Fulin was really his brother's son, he would still have sister Da Yuer, and the political situation would not be out of his control, even more so than if he were the emperor himself. Easier to operate.

For the sake of the brothers, Yang Dutang must endure some hardships!

"Sister Da Yu'er will be very busy next time!"

Of course, these had nothing to do with Yang Feng. He immediately boarded the ship back to Dengzhou, and then used a telescope on the deck to admire the grand scene of Chenghai Tower surrounded by happy officers. He left Laolongtou like this. Because the wind was in the wrong direction, first Went to Lushunkou. Everything was normal here. Although Jierhalang returned to Shenyang and ordered to gather various places to stay behind the Eight Banners in the ruins, and then went south to re-establish a forward defense line in Xiongyue City, he did not go south to attack. In total, he only scraped together a few thousand capable of fighting, and the attack was useless. In fact, he was moving the Eight Banners into Guan. After all, Shenyang had been destroyed, and those Eight Banners who had escaped were not in the mood to rebuild. Since there were good days in Guan, why should they rebuild? ?
Isn’t it better to just move?
As for the defense in Xiongyue City, it was only to prevent the Lushun Ming Army from moving north.

So he simply drove the young people near Shanhaiguan to build another city wall on the outside, and said it was a siege to the outside world. Although this reason was crazy, after all, there was a dock behind them, so building a wall on land and sieging them would be useless! But this is Dorgon's business. While he was building the wall, he asked Dorgon to build a navy to attack from Tianjin and cut off Ninghai City's supplies. This request is very reasonable. As long as our Qing Dynasty has a strong enough navy, we can cut off the enemy's supplies and even land in the rear. Of course, it will be easy to win at that time, but if you don't build ships or naval forces and just let the Eight Banners athletes fight with their lives, this is a bit awkward. Have sympathy for them.

Although the ice age in the Shanhaiguan area was actually very short due to the influence of warm currents, it was not impossible.

"The little one is stupid. The little one is stupid. Fortunately, Dutang has pointed it out."

He really has no interest in Sister Dayu'er, but everyone is waiting for him, so he has no choice but to do it.

Kicking the ball to Dorgon can also show his care for his subordinates.

He did it on purpose.

Then I kept saving...

Dorgon's efforts to collect grain from the surrendered gentry met with firm resistance...

In this case, Yang Feng was too lazy to care anymore, and he immediately returned to Dengzhou from Lushun.

He can't always be here. The nail of Ninghai City must always be nailed here. In other seasons, it is easier to say that as long as the shipping supplies are always sufficient, the defenders can continue to fight the Qing army, and at this time, a new simple fortress is also being built. Built next to the pier. The future Laolongtou will be composed of three defense points, a fortress at Shihekou, a dock, and Ninghai City. The distance between the three fortresses is only a few hundred meters. The one at Shihekou is blocked by tidal gullies. In fact, most of them are It was an island at that time, and even when the tide receded, all that was left was a tidal flat. Unless a waterborne landing attack was made, it would be really difficult to capture it, but a waterborne attack would have to face the Ming army's navy, which actually had an overwhelming advantage. The fortress built on the dock was protected by Ninghai City and Shihekou Fort. It could not be attacked directly. It only prevented the Qing army from sneak attacks on the dock. As for the old fortress group composed of Ninghai City, Jinglutai, and Nanhai Pass, they continued to serve as carriers. Line main force.

Of course, he is not retreating. Shanhaiguan is behind him, so there is no need to retreat.

It's different in winter.

This will ensure that the officers and soldiers stationed here will not consider surrender.

but……

Yang Feng continued walking with satisfaction, and happened to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty coming back with a fishing rod. He didn't even pay attention to his greetings. He looked obviously a little irritable. The fish in the near sea were probably scared away by the sound of the cannons. This It is normal for the fishing guy who works in the air force to have some emotions. Yang Dutang understood this, and then he left Da Yuer's sister and her son behind and let them continue to stay in Chenghai Building. I believe that soon the place will be filled with guests every day.

The guard suddenly understood.

At this time, less than a kilometer behind him, Haug had already reluctantly issued an order to stop the attack. It was obvious that he was not a fool. If Dorgon wanted to cheat him, he would be cheated no matter what, but as long as he was still in the blue Dorgon did not dare to kill him as the banner master. On the contrary, if he foolishly wiped out all his direct descendants, he would be at the mercy of Dorgon. Besides, there is no benefit in rescuing his younger brother. This kind of thing can be acted out.

In the end, the emperor was still Fulin. Even though he had been imprisoned by Yang Feng, he was still the emperor of our Qing Dynasty. Dorgon continued to monopolize power as the sole regent, but because this situation was obviously abnormal, he did not dare It was too arbitrary, and the other flags reluctantly accepted it. In short, the abnormal state continued like this.

He quickly nodded and bowed.

It’s enough that everyone has visited my Holy Mother of the Qing Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Lafayette. His previous humiliation of Da Yuer’s sister was also for this reason. However, this is not safe enough after all. The safest thing is to let everyone do Dole Gon's comrades.

If Hauge succeeds, it may not even take a few years.

But others are different.

At that time, not only would shipping be interrupted, Shihekou Fort would also become directly attackable.

So how can we let them fight to the end?
Very simple.

It would be a fool to work hard.

Help!

They have no other choice.

Their strength is not enough to control the territories in Liaodong and Guan at the same time, so they can only choose one place. Although Liaodong is indeed the place where they started, they cannot choose Liaodong when they have the capital, and abandonment is inevitable.

Yang Dutang, who was standing downstairs in Chenghai, sighed.

Yang Feng said.

Texas was still at war at this time.

We had to hand over the food when Master Wang didn't come, and we still had to hand over the food when Master Wang came. So wasn't Master Wang's visit in vain?

Do you still want to be the Holy Lord and Mingjun?
We welcome Master Wang despite the reputation of betraying the Ming Emperor, aren't we just hoping that Master Wang can benefit us?
What, you still charge taxes?

Scum!

Even the emperor of the Ming Dynasty could not collect our taxes!

During the Ming Dynasty, tens of millions of people in the northern Zhili region received 600,000 shi a year.

We are all happy to welcome Master Wang, you can't ask for more, right?

Anton Wei.

"So, why do you want to cooperate with Dorgon? I know that it may be unkind to you to kill Fang Gong, but you also have to understand that the most important thing at this time is unity, and any attempt to destroy unity We cannot cooperate with Dorgon, not only because of the past, but more importantly, they have hundreds of thousands of people to eat when they enter the customs. Why should they attack Li Zicheng for us? They need food, money, and even fields to feed their hundreds of thousands of people. Now the north doesn’t even have enough food to eat. Hundreds of thousands of mouths are suddenly flooding in. They also need to eat better than others. They have to ask us for all this. , if we don’t give it to them, they will kill people and set fire to it.

The gentry of North Zhili made a serious mistake. They led the wolf into the house. Li Zicheng did help with payment.

But Li Zicheng would not want their fields.

Li Zicheng has always wanted to establish a foundation in Guanzhong. He just went to Beizhili to grab a wave of troops. But the Jianlu were not ready to leave after entering the pass. Now they were short of food and had to collect food. Next, those Eight Banners soldiers would go to seize the land. At that time Whoever's land you like must be dedicated to them, and then the original owner will become their slave.

This is inevitable.

Now the Eight Banners from Liaodong are still entering the customs, dragging their families and families southward. Whoever surrenders to them will have to feed them for Dorgon.

Hundreds of thousands of extra mouths!

Without water transportation from the south, Beizhili, which already has insufficient food, would have to feed hundreds of thousands of mouths.

Why, you guys still want to help Beizhili and raise it with them? "

Yang Feng said.

The Gongun princes in front of him all said that they had never thought so.

These are all from Shandong Tongshan Association. He killed Fang Kezhuang. Although these old guys know that he has revealed his true colors, they have no other choice now. After all, only Yang Feng can protect everyone at this time. But what he said does seem to make sense. The key is that at this time, the Eight Banners had begun to enter the Shanhaiguan Pass in large numbers. This was also the reason why Hauge built a wall to besiege Ninghai City. Behind him, the old, weak, women and children of the Eight Banners who moved south were passing through the Shanhaiguan Pass in batches. Even if these old people are already old and dim, they still know that these people are here to eat. They not only want food, but also land, and even slaves. They are here to be masters, not to work for the Beizhili gentry.

Hundreds of thousands of mouths!

In fact, we have to count the 300,000 Liao people led by Wu Sangui.

Without water transportation from the south, how can Northern Zhili support them?

Before, no one considered this issue except to drive away Li Zicheng. Now with the continuous influx of Eight Banners, the food problem has become more and more serious. This is also an important reason for Duduo to attack Dezhou. If you open Dezhou, you can force Shandong to raise the Eight Banners together. If you can't open Dezhou, the Han army's cannon fodder will be reduced to North Zhili. In this case, the North Zhili gentry also began to regret it.

But it's too late to regret it.

It is easy to ask God but difficult to send Him away.

It is easy to put Dorgon into Shanhaiguan, but it is difficult to let them leave.

"These old guys are really getting more and more stupid."

After sending these old guys away, Su Dunsheng said with disdain.

"Don't worry about them. As long as Jianlu can't open Dezhou, they won't have other ideas. Let's go and see Li Zicheng's people."

Yang Feng said.

This is what he came back for.

The envoy sent by Li Zicheng has been waiting for him at Antonwei for a long time.

Of course, to be precise, he was sent by His Majesty the Emperor to declare the decree to him.

He was promoted to a higher rank again.

In addition to the right deputy censor of the capital procuratorate, the prince Shaobao was added.

Of course, this is of an honorary nature.

In addition, he was given the title of "Right Minister of the Ministry of War", so that his full title became "Right Vice-Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate" and "Right Minister of the Ministry of War", Governor of Ji Liao, Baoding and Shandong Military Affairs, Yang Shaobao.

Yang Shaobao...

"Gu Junen, right? Li Chuang didn't give you any real money or anything. You made tens of millions in the capital, and you just used these to fool me? Does he think I don't know who wrote this edict?"

Yang Feng crossed his legs and sat on the boss's chair he took out from the cornucopia. Behind the modern desk made of golden nanmu, he swayed from side to side while looking at Gu Junen, the emissary in front of him.

The latter stood there and looked at him with a humble smile...

"You can have gold or silver if you want, Shaobao. As long as you give us what we want, the price of the silver depends on you."

He said.

"What do you want?"

Yang Feng put his legs on the table and said to him with the soles of his shoes.

"Fairy seed."

Gu Junen continued to speak humbly.

"You seem to be a scholar, right?"

Yang Feng said.

"Shaobao seems to be a scholar, right?"

Gu Junen said with a smile.

"Well, I just asked casually. As for the fairy seeds, I can give them to you, but I don't have many here, so the price must be higher. You can just go to my housekeeper to discuss this yourself, but I have a side request. ”

Yang Feng said.

"Young Master, please speak."

Gu Junen said.

"I have a list of appointments here for King Qin to forward to Your Majesty."

Yang Feng said.

As he spoke, he pushed the list forward.

Gu Junen stepped forward to take it. The first one on the list was that Su Dunsheng's father Su Jing was the censor of the right capital of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate. The Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate did not have the censor of the left capital, only the censor of the right capital. Similarly, the six departments in Nanjing also only had the censor of the right capital. The other one was appointed Gao Hongtu as the Minister of Household Affairs in Nanjing. In addition, several officials from Shandong were also sent to Nanjing.

"Easy to do."

Gu Junen looked at the list and said with a smile.

"I like smart people like you. Go back and tell Li Chuang that after so many years of tossing, it's time for him to do something honestly. Although he and I have a grudge against him for killing his father, now that we are in the same palace and become ministers, this grudge is no longer I can only let it go for the time being. As long as he is still a minister of His Majesty, I will not kill him.

Am I being generous? "

Yang Feng said.
